MISSIONARY PRAYER OF HOLY LOVE Immaculate Heart of Mary, Virgin and Queen of Heaven and earth, consume my soul in The Flame of Holy Love that is Your Heart. Help me to be Your love in the world, and to hasten Your victorious reign through my prayers and acts of love. Spread Your mantle of protection over Missionary Servants of Holy Love. Lead us and guide us. Intercede on our behalf before the throne of Jesus Your Son. Amen. THE CONSECRATION TO THE FLAME OF HOLY LOVE Immaculate Heart of Mary, humbly I ask that You take my heart into The Flame of Holy Love that is The Spiritual Refuge of All Mankind. Do not look upon my faults and failings, but allow these iniquities to be burned away by This Purifying Flame. Through Holy Love, help me to be sanctified in the present moment and in so doing, give to You Dear Mother, my every thought, word, and action. Take me and use me according to Your Great Pleasure. Allow me to be Your Instrument in the World -- all for the Greater Glory of God and towards Your Victorious Reign. Amen. A CONSECRATION OF THE PRESENT MOMENT Dear Heavenly Father, I surrender this present moment to Your Holy Will. I choose through the Hearts of Jesus and Mary to be purified. I surrender to every Cross and grace You choose for me. I trust in Your Divine Providence. I am, in this present moment, Your servant of Holy Love. Amen. CONSECRATION TO THE EUCHARISTIC HEART Most Sacred, Eucharistic Heart of Jesus, Eternal Victim, truly present in the tabernacles of the world, to You I consecrate my entire being -- body and soul. I place in Your Heart -- burning ember of Divine Love -- my every burden and petition. Take me and use me according to Your need to bring about the Glorious Reign of Your Eucharistic Heart on earth. Amen. CONSECRATION TO THE CROSS The Key to the Church of Atonement My Jesus, I consecrate myself this day to Your Holy Cross. Just as You took upon Yourself that great Cross for the sake of all humanity, so I vow to embrace the crosses in my life. Everything I suffer I give back to You, my Sweet Jesus, to atone for my sins and those of all the world. I will begin and end each day at the foot of Your Cross, together with our most Blessed Mother and Saint John, our brother. My only pleasure will be to comfort You, my Sweet Savior. Amen. MAGNIFICAT My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; and My spirit rejoices in God My Savior. For He has looked with favor on His lowly servant. From this day all generations will call Me blessed. The Almighty has done great things for Me; and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him, in every generation. He has shown the strength of His arm; He has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones; and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things; and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel, for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever. All Glory be to the Father...
CONSECRATION TO THE UNITED HEARTS Most Worthy, United Hearts of Jesus and Mary, I willingly consecrate myself this day to You. I surrender to You all I own, both interior and exterior. Let my life be a continual hymn of praise to Your Most Holy United Hearts. Take the victories and defeats of this moment into Your Hearts. Use them, as You need them, to bring about Your triumphant reign. Amen. CHAPLET OF THE TWO HEARTS There are 20 beads; five sets each of one (1) Our Father and three (3) Hail Mary's.

Let my heart be joined to Yours, so that my every need is present in Your United Hearts. Most especially, shed Your grace upon this particular need (Missionary Servants of Holy Love). Help me to recognize and accept Your loving will in my life. Holy and Sacred Wounds of the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary answer my prayer. Amen. Our Lady Restates The Promises Of The Two Hearts Chaplet February 29, 1996 "My Son promises He will answer all petitions surrendered to the United Hearts." "Through the recitation of the Chaplet to the United Hearts a more fervent reception of the Blessed Sacrament will be made." "The United Hearts of Jesus and Mary are a fortress against evil." FIVE DAY NOVENA TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE November 29, 1995 Our Lady appears as Our Lady of Guadalupe. A small angel is with Her. The angel dictated the following: DAY ONE Immaculate and Perpetual Virgin of Guadalupe, You appeared on Mount Tepeyac to reconcile mankind to God. Plead and intercede with Your Son Jesus today, that a bond of Holy Love is formed between all humanity and God. Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us! DAY TWO Immaculate and Perpetual Virgin of Guadalupe, You left Your Image on the cloak of Juan Diego, using a humble vessel to bring Your Grace into the world. Imprint on our hearts the virtue of humility, dear Mother, and use us to bring others to You. Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us!
DAY THREE Immaculate and Perpetual Virgin of Guadalupe, Your Image of Guadalupe was a symbolic story to the Aztecs, converting them from paganism to Christianity. Pray for us, dear Mother, that our lives will be symbols of Holy Love, converting those around us. Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us! DAY FOUR Immaculate and Perpetual Virgin of Guadalupe, Your Image has remained intact on the frail cactus fiber of the tilma for centuries, free from corruption of the elements of the world. Give to us, dear Mother, a lasting and enduring faith, a faith that will not be compromised by the World. Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us! DAY FIVE Immaculate and Perpetual Virgin of Guadalupe, You proclaimed Yourself Our Mother and Protectress when You appeared on Mt. Tepeyac. Take us into Your Maternal Heart, dear Mother, and protect our faith. Our Lady of Guadalupe pray for us! STATIONS OF THE CROSS JESUS March 31, 1996 "I desire that souls make this Way of the Cross part of their lives. I want them to meditate on My passion considering the United Hearts of Jesus and Mary and understanding My Mother's role as Co- Redemptrix." 1.Jesus Is Condemned To Death "Consider how Divine Love and Holy Love made Their Wills one with the eternal Father. Imitate this resignation by accepting trials." 2.Jesus Accepts His Cross "Through the Divine Mercy of the Sacred Heart and the Holy Compassion of My Mother's Heart, I was able to courageously embrace the cross." 3.Jesus Falls The First Time "When you slip and fall into sin, My Mother, through Holy Compassion, wraps you in Her mantle and leads you to My Divine Mercy which raises you up again." 4.Jesus Meets His Mother "Our eyes met and Holy and Divine Love became one. It was Her prayer that enabled Me to go on. How often souls depend on Your prayers. Unite them to the Hearts of Jesus and Mary." 5.Simon Carries The Cross "Consider the reluctancy of Simon to embrace the grace of the present moment. How often has the present moment escaped you? Too often, you see the cross and not the grace. Place the present moment in the grace of Our United Hearts. We will help you to see the 'why' behind every cross." 6.Veronica Wipes The Face Of Jesus "Veronica was one with holy Compassion and Holy Love. She was not fearful to step forward and comfort Me. I left with Her My mark of Divine Love. I desire all souls comfort Me in the tabernacles of the world."
7.Jesus Falls The Second Time "Through My Divine Mercy - and led to Me through My Mother's Holy Compassion - I will forgive you as often as you fall." 8.Jesus Consoles The Women Of Jerusalem "Seek the consolation of the Refuge of the Immaculate Heart of My Mother. She will lead you to the greatest consolation of all -- spiritual union with My Heart." 9.Jesus Falls A Third Time "Have you slipped away from Me again? I forgive you. I forgive you. I forgive you. I love you. I love you. I love you. Imitate Me." 10.Jesus Is Stripped Of His Garments "If you are spiritually one with Our United Hearts, the world will hold no value for you. You will use the goods of the world to attain My end. My Mother gave Me Her veil when I had nothing. I ask you to give Me your heart and I will give you everything." 11.Jesus Is Nailed To The Cross "My Mother's hands and feet were laid spiritually on top of My own. She suffered as I suffered, for love of sinners. I ask you to stand with Her now and support Her at the foot of the cross through sorrow for you sins." 12.Jesus Dies On The Cross "I died with and for love of you. Divine Mercy and Divine Love are one. Holy Love and Holy Compassion are one. Die to yourself. Live for the United Hearts." 13.Jesus Is Taken Down From The Cross "My Mother wept bitter tears as She embraced My broken body. Ask Her to embrace you in Her Heart of Holy Love. Then She will lead you to Me." 14.Jesus Is Laid In The Tomb "I was laid in the tomb, but there is no end to My Love and Mercy. I rose again. Rise above sin through My Mother's Holy Love. Embrace eternity." MYSTERIES OF THE ROSARY JOYFUL MYSTERIES THE ANNUNCIATION Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, the Flame of Your Heart which is Holy Love would not permit You to say 'NO' to the angel Gabriel. Immerse our hearts in this flame, Most Blessed Virgin. Help us always to be willing instruments of God. THE VISITATION Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You journeyed to visit Your cousin Elizabeth because You believed in the message the angel Gabriel brought You from Heaven. Pray for us, that our lives be journeys of faith through the message of Holy Love.
THE NATIVITY Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You were turned away at the inn when Your Son was about to be born. Help us never to turn away from You and Jesus. Pray with us for those who reject Him in the world and do not open their hearts to Him. THE PRESENTATION Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You presented Your infant Son in the temple out of respect for tradition. Keep us faithful to Your Son's Church and the tradition of faith handed down to us through John Paul II. THE FINDING OF JESUS IN THE TEMPLE Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You were separated from Your Son for three days and You searched for Him sorrowing. Pray with us, dear Mother, for those who have fallen away from the Church, that they too will sorrow for their loss of faith. SORROWFUL MYSTERIES THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Son suffered agony at the thought of God's Will. He surrendered to the Will of the Father and an angel came to comfort Him. Pray for us to accept the crosses in our lives as God's Will, and to realize that we too will be given the comfort and grace to carry them. THE SCOURGING AT THE PILLAR Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, though innocent and undeserving, Your Son submitted to a scourging. He did not defend Himself. Help us to seek the greater good and not always our own comfort in the world. THE CROWNING WITH THORNS Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Son was mocked and crowned with thorns because people did not believe in Him. Pray for us, Mother of God, that we will courageously stand up for church tradition and holiness through Holy Love, even though, it is not popularly accepted. THE CARRYING OF THE CROSS Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Son carried His Cross out of love for us. Dear Blessed Mother, pray that we will accept our crosses for love of Jesus. His Cross was made heavy by the weight of our sins. Our crosses are made heavier when we do not surrender to them. THE CRUCIFIXION Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Son died on Calvary and made Himself an Eternal Victim on the altar of the world. We pray with You now, dear Mother, that belief in His Real Presence will increase in every heart throughout the world.
GLORIOUS MYSTERIES THE RESURRECTION Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You suffered at the foot of the Cross only to rejoice when Your Son rose from the dead. Help us to suffer the present day tribulations in preparation for His second coming. THE ASCENSION Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, Your Beloved Son returned to heaven victorious over sin, to take His place at the right Hand of the Father. Help us as we pray with You, dear Mother, to see that our home is in heaven. Heaven is the inheritance of the holy. Then assist us in our own personal holiness in the present moment. THE DESCENT OF THE HOLY SPIRIT Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, humbly we ask You to petition Your Heavenly Spouse that He will flood our hearts with every gift, every fruit. Then we ask Your prayers to be faithful apostles of Holy Love in an unbelieving world. THE ASSUMPTION Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You were taken to heaven body and soul because Your Beloved Son did not want Your most pure body to undergo the corruption of the grave. Now in heaven, we ask You to look down on us, dearest Mother. Keep us pure under the mantle of Your protection. Do not allow our hearts to be corrupted by the world. THE CORONATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Most Sorrowful, Ever Immaculate Heart of Mary, You are Queen of Heaven and earth. Solemnly, we petition You from this valley of tears. Let Holy Love reign in all hearts so that we can begin the victorious reign of Your Immaculate Heart here on earth. (To be recited at the end of the Rosary) We offer this Rosary to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary in union with St. Joseph for the restoration of the priesthood to the tradition of faith and for all the unconverted. Make us Your humble instruments of Holy Love. Mary, protect our faith! The First Letter of Paul to the CORINTHIANS Chapter 13 If I speak in the tongues of men and angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give away all I have, and if I deliver my body to be burned, but have not love, I gain nothing. Love is patient and kind; love is not jealous or boastful; it is not arrogant or rude. Love does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrong, but rejoices in the right. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love. The First Letter of JOHN (4.7-21) Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God, and he who loves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God; for God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the expiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No man has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us. By this we know that we abide in him and he in us, because he has given us of his own Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son as the Savior of the world. Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God. So we know and believe the love God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. In this is love perfected with us, that we may have confidence for the day of judgment, because as he is so are we in this world. There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and he who fears is not perfected in love. We love, because he first loved us. If any one says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen. And this commandment we have from him, that he who loves God should love his brother also. The Letter of Paul to the ROMANS (13.8-10) Owe no one anything, except to love one another; for he who loves his neighbor has fulfilled the law. The commandments, "You shall not commit adultery, You shall not kill, You shall not steal, You shall not covet," and any other commandment, are summed up in this sentence, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. The Second Letter of Paul to TIMOTHY Chapter 2 You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. Take your share of suffering as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No soldier on service gets entangled in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to satisfy the one who enlisted him. An athlete is not crowned unless he competes according to the rules. It is the hard-working farmer who ought to have the first share of the crops. Think over what I say, for the Lord will grant you understanding in everything. Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descended from David, as preached in my gospel, the gospel for which I am suffering and wearing fetters like a criminal. But the word of God is not fettered. Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they also may obtain the salvation which in Christ Jesus goes with eternal glory. The saying is sure:
If we have died with him, we shall also live with him; If we endure, we shall also reign with him; If we deny him, he also will deny us; If we are faithless, he remains faithful -- for he cannot deny himself. Remind them of this, and charge them before the Lord to avoid disputing about words, which does no good, but only ruins the hearers. Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth. Avoid such godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, and their talk will eat its way like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, who have swerved from the truth, by holding that the resurrection is past already. They are upsetting the faith of some. But God's firm foundation stands, bearing this seal: "The Lord knows those who are his," and, "Let every one who names the name of the Lord depart from iniquity." In a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver but also of wood and earthenware, and some for noble use, some for ignoble. If any one purifies himself from what is ignoble, then he will be a vessel for noble use, consecrated and useful to the master of the house, ready for any good work. so shun youthful passions and aim at righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart. Have nothing to do with stupid, senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to every one, an apt teacher, forbearing, correcting his opponent with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the truth, and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. The First Letter of PETER Chapter 2 So put away all malice and all guile and insincerity and envy and all slander. Like newborn babes, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up to salvation; for you have tasted the kindness of the Lord. Come to him, to that living stone, rejected by men but in God's sight chosen and precious; and like living stones be yourselves built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in scripture: "Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious, and he who believes in him will not be put to shame." To you therefore who believe, he is precious, but for those who do not believe, "The very stone which the builders rejected has become the head of the corner," and "A stone that will make men stumble, a rock that will make them fall"; for they stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God's own people, that you may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Once you were no people but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy but now you have received mercy.
Beloved, I beseech you as aliens and exiles to abstain from the passions of the flesh that wage war against your soul. Maintain good conduct among the Gentiles, so that in case they speak against you as wrongdoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation. Be subject for the Lord's sake to every human institution, whether it be to the emperor as supreme, or to governors as sent by him to punish those who do wrong and to praise those who do right. For it is God's will that by doing right you should put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. Live as free men, yet without using your freedom as a pretext for evil; but live as servants of God. Honor all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear God. Honor the emperor. Servants, be submissive to your masters with all respect, not only to the kind and gentle but also to the overbearing. For one is approved if, mindful of God, he endures pain while suffering unjustly. For what credit is it, if when you do wrong and are beaten for it you take it patiently? But if when you do right and suffer for it you take it patiently, you have God's approval. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps. He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten; but he trusted to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that be might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Guardian of your souls. THE THREE DAY CONSECRATION TO THE FLAME OF HOLY LOVE April 16, 1995 - Easter 7:00 A.M. Our Lady comes in white with white lilies in front of Her. Jesus' hands with the wounds were on either side of Her. She says, "Alleluia! Praise be to Jesus, Risen and Glorified! Take up your pen, My angel. [Our Lady is speaking to the visionary Maureen.] Here is the beginning of My prayer." Our Lady recited The Consecration to the Flame of Holy Love [included in the Daily Offering]. Our Lady continues: "The souls that thus consecrate themselves relinquish to Me all their faults; their sins, both past and future; their virtues, those that they have and will have; their sorrows; their joys; and their fears. I will reign in their hearts being victorious over besetting sins. I will take dominion over interior and exterior goods. I ask only their undying faithfulness to living in Holy Love and to spreading the message of Holy Love. In so doing, they will be My instruments in leading souls into the New Jerusalem." "Souls that desire to make this consecration must for three days prepare their hearts. Each day I desire that they perform some Corporal Work of Mercy. Each day they must evangelize the Holy Love message to at least one person. Each day they must reverently receive My Son in The Eucharist. These three days of light will serve as armor against the three days of darkness that are to come. This is God's Merciful Love I am giving to humanity through you. Pray with me now for unbelievers." We prayed. "Make this known to believers and unbelievers alike." She leaves.
The CORPORAL WORKS OF MERCY: 1.Feed the hungry. 2.Give drink to the thirsty. 3.Clothe the naked. 4.Shelter the homeless. 5.Comfort the imprisoned. 6.Visit the sick. 7.Bury the dead.
